Poor valet parking
Valet damaged the power seat control panel. They filled out a damage report and took pictures and my phone number.
I have not received a call and they do not pick up their phone.

Great Value
The Palmer Course at Saddlebrook was excellent. The greens were very nice. Pin placements were tough. Early spring rough conditions, but very playable. Freeways were
Iffy, but still early in the season.
First tee time at 8:45am and we were done in 3 hours. Staff was professional and very friendly. Would play this course anytime. Driving range is 3 minutes bye cart, so arrive early if you like to hit balls, putt, and loosen up.

Saddlebrook course
This place is so dated. It looks old and worn down.
Course was in terrible shape. Greens have patches on them and are extremely slow.
A ball in the fairway was like a ball in the rough. Did not cut the fairways at all.
They should be ashamed of themselves for letting people play on those conditions and charging them money.
It is certainly not a resort course.
It gets a one star from me because I cannot submit this review without giving it at least one star.

A lot of potential; needs updating.
We were told upon check in that the property was officially being sold the next day. The entire resort looked like its best days were well behind it and in desperate need of a renovation; same could be said for the golf course. It’s a really good layout with a ton of potential if better kept. Carts definitely need GPS as well because there are trouble spots all over the place that are blind and reachable off the tee we had no clue were there.
All in all if Troon can restore and improve the turf conditions and amenities this could be a special place again.
